extract strings from one long strings

[shaymiller]

I scrape a website with the title "Jhooti Episode 17 Ary Digital Drama - 16th May 2020 - Video Watch Online - Part 1"

Drama name is Jhooti
Episode is 17
Part 1

how can I extract this using php?

I have tried this

I could not post code here 

I used 
 substr and strpos functions

Regex probably

Since it's just a scraper, either post the code you already have, or go to stackoverflow

Split this string by „episode” and „-„ then get Your desired strings from returned arrays

 

[hakann]

You can split string by empty space and
than use first two elements from array
along with last two elements of array.

Splitting the strings or regex.

I use this site to write and test my regex as I'm writing it. Makes it much easier.

$str = "Jhooti Episode 17 Ary Digital Drama - 16th May 2020 - Video Watch Online - Part 1";

if ( preg_match("/(.+)\s+Episode\s+(\d+).+Part\s+(\d+)/i", $str, $result ) ) {
    echo "name:" . $result[1] . "\n";
    echo "episode:" . $result[2] . "\n";  
    echo "part:" . $result[3] . "\n";  
}

Nice. JamesBondBro was nice enough to actually write the regex for you

 

[shaymiller]

$str = "Jhooti Episode 17 Ary Digital Drama - 16th May 2020 - Video Watch Online - Part 1"; if ( preg_match("/(.+)\s+Episode\s+(\d+).+Part\s+(\d+)/i", $str, $result ) ) { echo "name:" . $result[1] . "\n"; echo "episode:" . $result[2] . "\n"; echo "part:" . $result[3] . "\n"; }

Yes, it worked.

How can I extract date too?
